About this blog: I am a perpetually hungry twenty-something journalist, born and raised in Menlo Park and currently working at the Palo Alto Weekly as education and youth staff writer. I graduated from USC with a major in Spanish and a minor in journalism. Though my first love is journalism, food is a close second. I am constantly on the lookout for new restaurants to try, building an ever-expanding "to eat" list. As a journalist, I'm always trolling news sources and social media websites with an eye for local food news, from restaurant openings and closings to emerging food trends. When I was a teenager growing up in Menlo Park, I always drove up to the city on weekends with the singular purpose of finding a better meal than I could at home. But in the past year or so, the Peninsula's food culture has been totally transformed, with many new restaurants opening and a continuous stream of San Francisco restaurants coming south to open Peninsula outposts. Don't navigate this food boom hungry and alone! Feed me your tips on new chefs and eats and together we'll share them with the broader community. (Hide)

Palo Alto's Tin Pot Creamery expanding

UPDATE:Tin Pot opened its Campbell location with limited hours as of March 16, 2017.

Palo Alto-born ice cream shop Tin Pot Creamery is expanding, with two additional locations set to open in Campbell and San Mateo next year.

Former Facebook pastry chef Becky Sunseri opened the first Tin Pot in 2013 at Town & Country Village. A second outpost in downtown Los Altos followed the next year.

Sunseri said she chose Campbell and San Mateo because "they are great communities we want to be a part of, are far enough away from the other two locations to be distinct markets, and presented great opportunities for storefront locations."
